Dear PCES Families,
As we prepare for the upcoming Splash Bash and other outdoor activities over the next couple of weeks, we want to remind you of our policy regarding sunscreen use. Students will only be allowed to apply sunscreen if they have parent permission and have brought their own sunscreen to school. Due to allergy concerns and legal liability, PCES staff cannot supply or apply sunscreen for any student under any circumstances. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and comfortable during our end-of-year events!
